With over a century of dedication to character development, our programs create life-changing experiences for children, adults and families.
Camp Becket for Boys and Chimney Corners Camp for Girls are traditional resident camps with rich traditions and commitment to character development. Our Travel & Service Programs offer a unique life experience to teens and our Berkshire Outdoor Center offers a wide-range of year-round programs for individuals, families and groups.

At Camp Half Moon, children are given a structure that grounds them and gives them the confidence to explore and to grow. To encourage exploration and discovery, we allow campers to create their own schedules by selecting activities from a weekly roster.
Our counselors are trained to provide active support in helping campers develop positive social values, values that enable children to meet different social challenges.
We believe in giving children sound learning skills, based on consistent skill improvement, rather that rigorous competition. Children gain in confidence when they are encouraged to see even small improvements as personal success.

The Lee Community Tennis Association provides affordable tennis instruction and leagues for all ages and levels of ability. We have over 400 active members learning and playing tennis on 8 local public hard courts and multiple clay courts. Group and private tennis lessons are provided by our PTR certified instructor. We believe tennis should be fun, affordable, and accessible to the entire community.
